Fig. 12 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view of the rotary material carryin device or roll holder and its supporting devices, art of the feeding devices for said roll hol er also being shown.

inrthe drawings, the main frame of the machine is shown as comprising side plates 1 'Fim'il said )lates bein joined at the a l a rear by a lOQk s aft 2 which carries.for- \vardly projecting horizontally disposed arms 3, said arms carrying a shiftable 'grooved track-way 4. Anti-friction balls 5 cooperate with the track-way 4 andwith a grooved slide bar 6 forming part of a platen carrier or frame, said platen carrier also comprising side lates 7 which are connected by a rear ar or plate 8. A guide rodi) is secured at its ends in the side plates 7 of the platen frame and cooperates with guide rollers 10 and 11 mounted on a'shiftable bracket 12. Mounted in the laten carrieris a rotary platen 13 provi ed with a line space ratchet wheel 14 which is adapted toc'oopcrate with the usual or suitable line spacing devices for communicating line space movements to the platen, The platen may, also be turned or rotated, by means of the usual platen finger wheelstnot. shown).

It -'\\"ill be understood that the platen is adapted to be moved from side'to side of the; machine with the platen carrier-for letter spacing, the slide bar 6 of said carrier be; 1ng guided and supported during these movements on the anti-friction balls 5, and v the guide rod 9 moving endwise between and cooperating with the guide rollers 10 and 11. It will further be understood that a case shift mechanism is provided which is operative to' shift the track-way 4 and the guide bracket 12 and its rollers 10 and 11 up and down so as to raise and lower the platen carrier and platen.

Referring now more especially to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4, the combined supporting frame and paper table is shown mounted on the platen carrier. Said supporting frame is adapted to carry certain of the parts of my invention and comprises brackets 15 prefer- 18 which are secured, as by rivets 19, to angled pieces 20. The angled pieces are inclined upwardly and rearwardly from the top of the platen and terminate at their uper end portions as-shown at Fig. 3 in enargcd-rounded bearing portions 20, each provided with an inciined bearing slot 21, which slots are adapted to serve as bearings for the support of a. material carrying device present y to be described. The angled pieces 20 carry a plate-like paper table 22 which extends or inclines upwardly aiid rearwerdly from the platen'as clearly shown in Fig. 3 and is suitably fixed, as by riveting, to the angled ieces 20. The paper table serves to gui e and support both the work sheets and the carbon paper or other transfer medium as will subsequently be explained more at length. It will be understood that the various parts which go to make up the combined supporting frame and paper table, viz., the brackets 15, the angled pieces 20 and the plate-like art 22, are fastened together or assemble prior to being mounted on the platen carrier, and constitute. in effect, a single supporting frame.

-The bearing slots 21 at the upper end of the supporting frame receive a shaft or axle 23 which is best' shown in Fig. 12. The shaft 23 has mounted on it a tubular material carrying device or roll holder 24 which is arranged between the end portions 20 of the supporting frame. The terms material carrying deviee and roll holder mea respectively any device which carries the supply of material and any element which olds the roll or material. It is con- 'abl formed of sheet metaland having lattion to that effect. it

bore of the roll holder.

ceivable that the material might not be in the form shown and that it might be carried by a device different from that shown; and also that even with a roll of material. the tube 24 might be dispensed with and the roll arranged on some other evice which might or might not ordinarily be detachable or separable from ments with which it is connected in the structure or mechanism. l'nless in the following claims there is an is not intended to be implied that the material carrier shall nee-. essarily be rotatable or that the roll holder shall rotate. The end portions of the bore of the tubular rollholder '24 receive cylindrical core pieces :25. said core pieces being provided with outside flanges 26 and tapering at their inner ends as indicated at. 27. The cylindrical outer faces of the core pieces are knurled or roughened and are adapted to cooperate frictionally with the so that in the operation of the machine said roll holder and said core pieces arenormally maintained by fixed relation. The right this friction in a band core piece 25 is fixedly secured to the shaft 2 in any suitable manner as by a pin 2. and the left-hand core piece is provided at its inner end on opposite sides of the shaft 23 with slots 29 which cooperate with corepiece to a cross pin :50 which is driven through the shaft, thereby providing a pin and slot connection between the left-hand core piece 25 and the shaft 23. It will be understood that when it is desired to remove the roll holder from the shaft 23 the operator may pull outwardly on the flange 26 of the left-hand withdraw said core piece from engagement. with both the shaf 23 and the roll holder 2i, and thereafter the roll holder may be disengaged rom the right-hand core piece 25 and sli ped off the. shaft :23. The endportions 0 the' shaft project late1'all bej'ond the sides of the supporting frame and carry flanged wheels or pulleys 3L and 32. The right-hand wheel 31 is fixed to the shaft 2!.- by a pin 33 which passes through the shaft and through a hub portion 31 on the wheel. The left-hand wheel 32 is provided with a somewhat thicker lmb portion or boss 32 which extends leftward from the wheel proper and receives, a set screw 34 which abuts against the shaft 23 and serves to detachably secure the wheel 32 in afixcd relation with said shaft. Endless hands 3.). preferably of metal. pass over the wheels or pulleys 3i and 32 between their flanges and cooperate with the end portions of the platen.

It will be apparent that when rotary movement is connnunicatcd to the platen the bands iifi will transmit this rotary movement through the wheels 31 and 32 to the roll holder and the material carried ihcrebjv'.

the other cle- I expressed limitab 43 serves as a.

ment conduces to uniform feeding of the material. The roll holder carries a roll of carbon paper or other suitablematerial,said

material being designated in the drawings by the numeral 36. The free end ot the ina+ terial which will hereinafter be referred to. drawn down over the top of the roll passing over the plate-like paper as carbon paper is table 22. Preferably, a U-shaped shield or cover 31' is arranged over the carbon roll, so as to inclose and protect it. said shield being provided at its rear with two depending angled arms 38, the upper end portions.of said arms being secured to the shield near its ends by rivets 39 and the lower ends of said arms being slotted as indicated at 40, the' slots cooperating with headed pins 41 projecting from the back of the paper table as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. the construction lie-- ing such that the shield 37 may be readily attached to the supporting frame.

For the purpose of paper and maintaining a portion or section of it in a fixed relation with the .endless bands 35, a pair of holding or clamping devices are provided, said clamping devices eing secured at their ends to the endless bands 35, one of said devices being at. the front and the other at the back porting frame and paper table. The front clamping device, as shown in Figs. 1, 3, 9, 10 and 11, comprises two clamping members or bars 42 and 43. The bar 42 extends from one endless band to the other and is arranged under the front portions of said bands, being secured thereto by bolts 44 and nuts 45. This construction is best shown in Fig. 9 which is a longitudinal sectional view taken of the left-hand front clamping device as it appears when viewed from the rear side. Near its left end the clamping bar 42. as will be understood from an inspection of Fig. 1, is provided with a slot which receives a tongne43 projecting angnlarly from the left end of the clamping bar 43. This tongue and slot connection between the clamping bars 42 and hinge on which the bar 43 and away from the may swing toward The right end of the clamping bar 42. clamping bar clamped against the clai'nping bard-2 by means best shown in Figs. 9 and 10. Fig. 10 being a rear elevation of Fig. 9. The bar 42 is formed near its left end with a keyhole slot 46 and the bar 43 is formed with an elongated slot 47. A shouldered bolt 4.? passes through said slots 46 and from rear said holt'engaging to front, the head 49 of feeding the carbon' 43 is adapted to be locked or' of the combined supend portion of thewith the back of the bar 42. The shoulder 50 of the bolt 48 is flattened on 'opposite sides, as will be understood from an inspection of Fig. 10, to cooperate with the narrow end of the key-hole slot to, so that when positioned as shown in Figs. 9 and 10 the narrow' portion of the key-hole slot prevents the bolt from turning or rotating. The bolt projects forwardly through the slot 47 and is arranged to receive a clamping nut 48', said clamping nut when screwed down cooperating with the front face of the bar 43 and serving to force the bars 42 and 13 toward each other. \V hen the clamping nut is loosened, said nutand the bolt 48 may be moved longitudinally of the bars 12 and 43 until arrested by the left-hand end of the slot 47. This movement of the bolt brings its head 49 in register with the large end of the key-hole slot 46, said head 49 being of such size that it may be drawn through the large end of the slot, enabling the right-hand end portion of the bar 43 to be swung away from the bar 42 about the tongue and slot connection at the left of said bars as a hinge or pivot. I

' Fig. 11 is a transverse sectional view of the bars 42 and 43 looking toward the right. From an inspection of this figure it will be clearly understood how the carbon paper 36 is arranged between the two clamping bars. Said carbon paper is first passed downwardly behind both clamping bars and is then assed upwardly between the two bars, and thence over the top of the front bar 43 and then down over the front face of said bar 43. It will be apparent that after the carbon paper has been thus arranged between the two bars, the tightening of the clamping nut 48' will serve to clamp or hold the carbon paper in a fixed relation with the two clampin bars. After being passed between the clamping bars 42 and,43, and prior to the clamping together thereof, the carbon paper is drawn down over the front but 43, passing over the paper table and the front of the platen 13 and between it and the usual paper feed rollers 13 and 13* which are preferably maintained in released or inoperative positions. Thence the paper is led or drawn upwardly at the back of the platen and is clamped by devices arranged at the rear of the paper table, said devices being clearly shown in Figs. 3, t, 6 to 8. The rear clamping devices also comprise a pair of clamping bars 5] and 52, the clampmg bar 51 connecting the endless bands 35 and lung secured thereto by screw bolts 53 and cooperating nuts 54. Near one end, the

bar 51 is formed with a slot 55 which reclampingplatc is positmncd at lhe front of the platen, shown in Figs. t and ceives an angle tongue-like piece 52 project ing from one end of the clamping bar 5 the construction being such that the tongueand-s1ot connection provides a hinge between the two clamping bars l ke the hinge 43 at the front. The other end of the clamping bar 52 is formed with a hole through which the shank of the associated screw bolt 53 passes, said shank projecting a considerable distance beyond the bar 52 and receiving a clamping not 5%, which is a thumb nut. As shown-clearly in Fig. 8 the. clamping bar 51 provided with a set of suitably fixed pointed pins or rivets 56 arranged longitudinally of the bar as shown in Fig. 6. The pointed ends of said rivets are received in holes 57 formed in the bar 52. 'lheconstruction is such that. when the clamping nut- 54 is removed the bars 51 and may be swung apart so that the carbon paper may be passed or drawn between them, after which said bars may be clamped together, the pointed members or rivets 56 passing through the carbon paper and assisting to hold it securely between the two clamping bars.

That portion or section of the carbon paper which is held or clamped between the clamping devices described in the preceding paragraph may be termed the working portion. It will be understood that when this working portion is exhausted and it is desired to replace it with fresh carbon, it is necessary only to loosen the clamping devices and draw or unwind a portion of the carbon paper from the roll, enabling a fresh or unused section of said paper to be led through or between the clamping devices, and then to reclamp said devices and tear off the exhausted section of the carbon paper.

As has been stated, a folded work sheet is preferably used with the carbon roll device. Said work sheet is designated by the reference numerals 57 and is adapted to be arranged to embrace between its folds the working section of the carbon paper. In

order to properly aline and hold the work sheet 51' I make use of devices which will now be'described in detail. A clamping bar or plate 58 for the work sheet is arranged between the two clamping-devices for the carbon paper, and may be secured to the endless bands in any preferred manner, and may be provided with a scale corresponding with the usual carriage Scale. shown, the clam )ing plate is provided with slots through w :ith the endless bands 35 pass and the portions of said bands which lie against the front and back of the plate 58 may be soldered or otherwise secured to it. The clamping plate 58 is adapted 'to cooperate with the lower edge portion of .lhe folded work sheet and is brought into posilion to cooperate initially with said folded work sheet by turning the platen until the plate is' itl'ltl(-tl in this position by lheupper edge thereof contacting withstop lugs 53) -fi\'cd to the Lrackcis 15 and extending downwardly theretron't at the front of the will be understood that when;

platen. it the plato .15 is in c ntactiua engagenaa'tt with the. stops it. Further movement of the endless bands in one direction is prevented and the roll holder receives no further turn ing nun'cnmnt should .lnrther turning movement in the same direction he commuiiicated to the platen. At this time the pime as is in position to receive the folded work sheet 37 and said work :llQCt ma be passed over the paper table 22, the reari fold of the work sheet passing between the paper table and the working portion oi. the

carbon paper and the front fold p; ing o and covering the win-king portion or the carbon paper so that said working por tion embraced between the two folds of the work or b ll sheet.

I prefer to employ a side guide to cobperate with the left-hand edge of the rear fold of the bil sheet; which rear told, as will be seen in ifig. 1. is sonuzwhat wider than the front fold. The side guide is preferably icn't'ued of sheet metal and con'iprises a body portion 410 having a lip til turned up at rightangles to it. said lip being the gunnpropcr. "The bod) portion is jJl'tH'ltlttl with ears tr. formed with slots 63 through which pass hauled thmnb screws t'd. thumb screw C 4 at each side sup orted in an angled bracket 33 secured by headed screws (36 to the angled piece 30 (Fig. 2-). The lower thumb screw (l-l at; each side is received in an ear (3? extending laterally from the neighboring bracket. to. The construction is such that by loosening the thumb screws (34 the side "uide ma then be adjusted by being moved toward or away from the. middle of the machine and when -said thumb screws are tightened said side guide Will be maintained 1H fixed relation with the combined paper table and supporting frame. Preferably the side guide is adjusted to contact with the left-hand edge of the rear fold of the bill sheet 57 before the creases at the right-hand side of the latter can engage with the right-hand edge of the working portion of the carbon papcr,.as this has been found in practice to be an arrangement which causes less smutting of the work sheet. than would be the case if the creases were allowed to engage with the.

edge of the carbon pa pcr.- The preferred arrangement is shown in Fig. l. The work sheet having bee'n brought to the proper position laterally, may then be moved downwardly until its lower edge portion passes between the plate and the platen. It will be understood, of course. that the front fold of the work sheet at its lower edge will at this time be between the carbon paper and the plate 5h while the rear told of said work sheet will be between said carbon paper and the lace ol' the platen.

Tho upper l '\s will be understood from an inspection of lkig. l, the space between the platen and the plate 58, which plate is curved in crosssection to conform to the curvature of the platen. widens gradually from the lower edgeportion ot' the plate 58 toward its upp r edge portion, forming a sort of slot wltit'lr the bottom. "the lower edge portion of the work sheet passes downwardly through this slot and will be arrested when the lower edge of the front fold of the work she-r1 reaches the end of the opening between the carbon shown in lfig. 4-, also narrows from the top or mouth to the bottom. It will be understood that the plate 58 serves as a sort of clamping plate for the lower edge portion of i thebill sheet and also as an alining device, since said plate is arranged l-iu'tgitudinally i of the platen and the closed end of the slot between the plate and the carbon paper is l parallel with the longitudinal axis of said i platen. l

lt'will' be apparent that by the arrangement thus far described the upper left-hand corner of the from fold of the bill sheet would be left free, which would be undesirable, and I prefer to provide means for holding this corner against the carbon paper. i This holding means preferably comprises a I combined indicating device and holding finl ger which is in the form of a sheet; metal member designated as a whole by the numet-a1 (3S and shown clearly in Fig. 1. The i member comprises a holding finger (it) and a lateral extension T0 having a side indicating edge 71 and an end indicating edge 72, l the functions of which. will be explained I later. [The member (38 is adjustably mounted on a supporting bar 73, the latter being i provided with an elongated slot; through i which passes a screw bolt; 75, t. .1111: of l the latter passing through a hole the top l of the member 68 and receiving a thumb l nut '76.. The head of the screw bolt 75 conl tacts with the under side of the supporting j bar 73 and the 'cot'iperating thumb nut; 76 2 contacts with the front face of the member (58. The constrtu-tion is such that when the thumb nut is tightened the member 68 is held in fixed re'lation with its supporting i bar 73, but. by loosening the thumb nut 76, l the member Go may be adjusted longitudinally of its supporting bar. The. sup orting bar is carried by the endless bani s 35 l and is adjustable lengthwise of said bands, I said bar being slit at its ends to provide tongues or clips 77 which are bent to engage l with the rear faces of the bands 35 while the end portions of the bar 7? l the tongues 77 engage with the front faces l of said batuls. The supporting bar 73 9 th reby held In frictional engagement, with t the bands and may be readily slipped up and initially in: rrow v .l'rom the op toward paper and the plate 58, which opening, as.

I at; either side of down len thwise of said bands, the friction between tie latter and the supporting bar serving-to maintain said bar in adjusted position. 1

It will be understood that by the construction, 'ust described 'the member 68 is capable o adjustment both widthwise and lengthwise of the work sheet 57. The finger 69, it will be apparent, will hold the up er left-hand corner of the outer fold of the ill sheet against the carbon aper. If desired the side a-rd 61 may e dispensed with and the e ge 71 of the part 70 may be emloyed as an indicator or ide to coiiperate with the left-hand edge 0 the outer face-of the bill sheet, the o rator knowing that when this edge of the ill sheet and the edge 71 are in alinement the proper lateral position of the bill sheet has been obtained. In the same way the edge. 72 of the part 70 may be used to coiiperate with the upper edge of the front fold of the bill sheet to indicate that the bill sheet has been moved downwardly far-enough. Of course with the described construction the bill sheet will be arrested b the clamping plate 58 but the end guide 2 forms a convenient visual indicator by using which the operator will be advised thathe has pressed the bill sheet far enough downward and that he need make no attem t to force it farther.

As as been explained the carbon paper is drawn downwardl from the roll holder, passing over the consequently it will be apparent that that face of the carbon paper which contains the carbon will beinward or against the combined paper table and snpportin member. while the back or un-carbone side of the carbon pa r will be outermost. The result will bet at as thecarbon paper is fed around with the platen to and fro durin the writing of the bills, that portion of said carbon aperwhich lies between the plate 58 and t e rear clamping devicewould contact time and again with the face of the platen and soil the latter. Of course, the working portion of the carbon between the plate 58 and the frontclam ing device will not contact with the platen because the rear fold of the bill sheet will lie between the latter and the carbon. It will be; understood that the s ace between the plate 58 and the rear '0 amping device should be sufiicient to enable the plate 58 to contact with the stops 59 without bringing the rear clamp down in the way of the usual paper feedin 1 devices of the machine, since this rear c amp, as I prefer tomake it, is too thickto pass between the platen and said paper feeding devices and would therefore lock or prevent the movement of the endless bands when the platen is being turned in line space direction. In order to prevent the portion of the carbon paper between the out side of the platen,

plate 58 and the rear claznp from smutting or soiling the platen I provide a flexible apron or shield 78 preferably of linen or some other fabric of close texture Figs. 3, 4,

5, 6 and 7). Two of the corners of this p ate 58 b teeth '79 punched out of the metal of w iich said plate formcd,'and at the other two corners said apron is secured to ears 51 on the clamping bar 51 and near the sides thereof by securing screws 80. The distance between the two screws is substantially equal to that between the two teeth 79 and is such that the carbon paperv may pass freely between the screws and between the teeth, while at the same time it will be understood that the apron or shield will lie between the carbon paper and the platen and will keep the latter 'clean.

After what has been said it is not thought. necessary to explain the operation of my imrovernents as a whole at any great length. he operator having drawn the carbon paer throu h the clamps and clamped it as as been described. may turn the platen by the usual fin er wheels until the combined alining and cianiping plate 58.is in .the position shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Then one of the folded bill sheets 57 may be entered over the inclined paper table and adjusted as has been described, after which the operator may turn the platen by hand until the bill sheet has been fed backwardly in the machine to osition for writing the first line. The first ine may be written'in the usual way, it being understood that the type impressions on the outer fold of the bill sheet will be-made thron h the usual inking ribbon, while 'the rear old of the bill sheet will be printed in duplicate from the interposed carbon paper. The first line having been written the platen may be line spaced in the usual manner and the second and subsequent lines may. be thereafter written, after which the platen is turned by hand in line spacing direction until the clamping plate 58 contacts with its stops 59, whereupon the written bill sheet may be withdrawn and the next bill sheet adjusted and written as has been described.

During the turning movements of the platen it will be understood that corresponding turning movements are connnuuicated to the carbon roll holder. these turning movements being received from the connections and independently of the carbon paper which is between the platen and the roll holder. It will. also be apparent that the carben paper is fed )ositively during these turning-movements because of the clamping devices which are mounted upon the connections or endless bands 35 and which hold a portion or section of the carbon paper between them.

Although I prefer to use my invention in the manner above explained, it is obvious that it may be used in other ways and parts a ron 78 are held against the back of the i the clamping plate to be moved automaticofit maybe employed without other parts. For example the roll of carbon paper may be dispensed with and one or more sheets of! carbon paper may be arranged between the two-part clamps and held at the top aml bottom edges by said clamps. When several sheets of carbon paper are thus employed. work sheets or bill sheets may be used with them, one bill sheet or one portion of .a folded bill sheet being arranged between i each two carbon sheets. i

'hen a single carbon sheet is employed. the device may be used in the manner above described in connection with a folded bill sheet. and said single carbon sheet when exhausted 'may be unclamped. removed and replaced by a fresh sheet of carbon paper. Furthermore, the alining and clamping de-' vice. comprising the clamping plate or barmay be made use of to allne a work sheet or to aline and hold a work sheet in cooperation mielrthe platen w thout at the same time employing the carbon paper or the clamps therefor. in which case a rotary device equivalent to one or both of the wheels 31 and 32 might be employed on the band or hands or their equivalents might run over devices which did not rotate if preferred. Such a clamping plate as 58 is ll. the nature of a so-called leading edge stop device. It mightbe advantageously employed with stiff work sheets. such as cards or the like. for holding such a work sheetso that it might be written upon close to its top and bottom edges. In this connection it will be noted that the clamping plate mounted independently of the platen and is connected therewith by connecting means comprising a longitudinally movable band or strap. Prefe ably.-as in the present in stance, said band is endless and it enables ally away from and toward said platen so that in writing on a work sheet which is of greater length than the circumference of th platen. the types will not strike against the clamping plate through the work sheet at the beginning of or during the second or .i subsequent revolutions of the. platen.

lVhen the work sheet is initially adjusted it cooperates with the clamping plate {)8 and platen. but as the latter is rotated the clamp-' ing plate is carried away from the platen by the. endltz s'bands. leaving the work sheet ti be held against the platen and fed to the first writing line by the working portion of.

the carbon paper which engages the rear fold of the work sheet aml holds it against the platen. of course during the return or line spacing movements of the platen the" carbon paper will in the same way control the work sheet and cause it to be prhperly fed in line spacing direction. although for the greater part of the time said work sheet is notv umler the control of any paper t'eed employment of carbon paper for feeding 1 purposes. as. of course. any other flexible.

material may be employed and a sheet or sheets of carbon paper together with a work sheet or work sheets may be suitably attached to said flexible material and fed by it.

It will furthermore be obvious that various changes in the details of construction may be made. and in the claims where reference is made to a particular part by the special term by which it has been described. I desire-to be understood as claiming the equivalents of such part: for example. in

crrtain of the claims where an endless band or strap is recited as one of the elcments.
